Thanks pal.sorry.
I need to see this vehicle withstanding an IED and I will believe that it can! this is a troop carrier not an MRAP! MRAP is versatile vehicle that overcome various harsh terrain. This cannot handle steep gradients.
Have a look at this to understand what I mean this is a high standard an MRAP must adhere to.

nice demo in Thailand
Just check this out IED hit this MRAP and the crew escaped from the hatch above it. The MRAP may not be usable but the crew compartment is intact and the crew made it out.

back aches all night got up.
Here is an old photo from old album from yester yers from a testing grounds we were at back in 1991 for a Rooikat prototype with multiple 12kg russian landmines live testing. It continued to function fine with 5 wheels just front right entire wheel was taken out;
This is the oupa of all top line mineproof vehicles from which all heavy end are coming from. Casspir.
I just shake my head; these above are late 80s'/90s when noone except RSA was developing and deploying right up the front line. As I said before, give me just Buffels (late 70s) and kalahari is ours. Just ask the Srilankans' who used all the surplus buffels and are still using them.
